Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1962. Hardcover. Good. 0x0x0. [Interesting provenance, previously owned by Cherif Guellal.] Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Scattered underlining and markings. 206 p., 22 cm. <b> "One of the most brilliant of the new generation of European-educated African intellectuals makes an outstanding contribution to the current debate on the future of Africa. Mr. Abraham urges that the eyes of Africa be turned inward and that fruitless comparisons with other continents be avoided. Unless the soul of Africa is laid bare, the works of that soul may be confusing, and are never illuminating." <br> Cherif Guellal was an Algerian resistance fighter, businessman and diplomat who cut a glamorous figure in Washington society and was the longtime companion of a former Miss America. Guellal was a veteran of the bloody independence movement that in 1962 secured freedom for his North African country from French rule. After serving as a top lieutenant to Ahmed Ben Bella, the rebel leader turned president, Guellal arrived in Washington, D.C., as post-colonial Algeria's first ambassador to the United States.
